Texas A&M is Trolling SMU With "This is SEC Country" Billboard

Texas A&M joined the SEC. Not surprisingly, they plan to use that as part of their recruiting pitch. A reader sent us pictures of this billboard, erected across the street from SMU’s Dallas campus. This is similar to the one spotted in Austin a few days ago. Texas schools undoubtedly will counter by sending recruits this YouTube link.

That billboard space has at other times also been occupied by advertisements for Texas Tech, TCU, and University of We Gave Spencer a Music Degree…I mean North Texas.

So what I’m saying is that this is not so much A&M trolling, as it is that SMU has a terrible marketing office within the Athletic Department.

SMU will actually have a shot at winning their conference in the future though.

When do they start claiming other SEC teams’ national championships?

It’s going to be glorious watching Aggiefan get exactly what it bargained for in the SEC. You thought the last 12 years were bad, just wait.

Holy shit. A&M has 27 kids already recruited for 2013. Mike Mitchell better not be number 28.

I am disappointed there is no Johnny Pesky post. I understand it’s very regional, but he was pretty well-known across the game, and it’s not like all the stupid Red Sox bullshit doesn’t get covered here anyway. A small tribute to a true baseball man respected all over the game would have been nice.

Bet you were really pissed when you saw who the next post was about.

Alabama probably has a couple fictional national titles they can have.

I’m not looking forward to obnoxious Aggies flooding our tailgate and the concourses of Ford Stadium this year. The wife of one of my friends went to A&M and she’s completely insufferable about it.

I haven’t met many aTm fans (thankfully) but is there such a thing as one that isn’t insufferable? if so, I still don’t want to meet them.

If there is one, I also have not met him or her yet.

That’s okay. Let ’em have their football glory.
